I could have (should have?) made a meal of that, but I saw the Moroccan stew on the menu and was very excited to try it. Full disclosure...I used to make a mean Moroccan stew myself so I was expecting it to taste similar to the recipe that I followed....but I found their version to be rather bland, unfortunately. I would go back sometime and try something different...or maybe just get that sampler platter again.

I love Persian food and have had many wonderful meals in the Seattle and DC areas. I was excited that a Persian restaurant opened up in the Capital District. We got the Wednesday special, Zereshk Polo with Morq. The positive was that it was enough food for two adults for just $18. The texture was also quite good. While my wife thought the flavor was quite tasty, I hated it. I'm guessing that for the price instead of using proper saffron that was properly prepared they used some sort of a cheaper colored extract. We also got Chenjeh kabob. For $24 I expected a comparable quantity but this was roughly half as much food. While the flavor was decent, it wasn't great, and the texture left lots to be desired but that could just be the issue of the delivery time. The last dish that we got was the Mantoo. These were great texture and flavor and presentation and by far the winner from the three dishes that we got. While not the favorite Mantoo in our region, if I'm back at Neda's, that's what I'm ordering.

My DIL has been wanting us to try this place because she heard so much good about it. Since we're…read morefrom out of town, we're just coming along having no expectations. As you walk in, it's not fancy or looking special. Just a regular place in a strip mall. Don't judge a book by its cover. We were super disappointed that the buffet was closed but they were gracious to offer 20% off our meals. First to arrive was the garlic naan which was good. But I really want to talk about the Chicken Korma! I wanted spicy so he asked me from 1-10 how spicy. I ordered a 5 because the waiter said that most people who say they like spicy find the 7 too spicy. It was PERFECT! Finally something spicy that was perfect. It was so so delicious I am still thinking about it. Everyone else ordered the tikka chicken which is a safe bet if you're starting to venture into amazing Indian food. I just love all the flavors!!! Food wise, the only disappointment was the chai tea. I did not care for it, and it was served in a takeout cup which was weird. The waiter was amazing. Very attentive and friendly explaining all the dishes well. I would definitely return. PS I tried to come back again for the buffet but they were closed again. I am wondering if they're going to do away with it. I would call ahead of time to check.

No matter, they very happily took my order and in no time I had my meal and was out the door. They were very friendly, the prices were very reasonable, and the food was delicious. I will surely stop in again when I'm in the area. Well done!

And then I waited until after my second trip because things hadn't really settled down front of the house and I think they forgot my order, because it was cold. But you know, three data points is sufficient now (cous cous again the third time) to declare this pretty bland. Not a hint of harissa or ras al hanout, not a pore opening, kind of very thin broth. The vegetables on the cous cous were "authentic" cuts and mix and the tagine was very much in line with the basic style I've had abroad, but...just nothing to write home about. I'll call it OK if you're in the mood for north African and are in the Galleria, but it's not a replacement for the kind of transportive food you can get for just a little more cash at Tara. I'll likely give the rest of the menu a try, just not anytime soon with other good options available.

I liked the menu &…read morereviews, and It was located in small strip of businesses on Guideboard Road near the Halfmoon Diner and Sorrentinos Deli. It was easy to place an online order. It is an open Kitchen mostly takeout place with several booths/tables for dine in, if wanted. Ordered for pickup: Chicken Bihari Boti, six pieces Lamb Curry with Rice The chicken was very tender and delicious. A small salad was included. I would order this dish again even though the menu has many enticing items. The Lamb Curry included a tasty, flavorful white rice that complemented the curry well. The owner included extra sauces including a Mint-Yogurt one that was delicious. I should have ordered one of the many varieties of Naan, and next time I will. Check out their menu. The owner greeted you with a smile. Two others prepared the food. While another customer (Gyros) and I waited for our orders at 11:30 am (I arrived early), the owner served us a sample of their Kheer after asking us if we had a milk allergy. This traditional Indian Rice dessert was far superior in flavor and texture to what I have eaten at other local restaurants that serve it. (Kheer is a creamy, traditional dessert made by simmering rice with whole milk, sugar, and aromatics like cardamom and saffron.) The owner even included a complimentary serving of Kheer with my order. Nice! They thank you for your order when you leave. The restaurant was pristine including the recently washed windows. Parking is plentiful. I want to order food from here for my family who likes this cuisine.
